Kevin De Bruyne expects that Phil Foden will turn into a central midfielder at Manchester City despite his attacking threat on the wing. Guardiola is expecting to move Foden at some point though, and the 22-year-old also has the approval of the best midfielder in the league in De Bruyne.
Kevin De Bruyne said: “He will improve because he’s only 22. I know at 22 I wasn’t the player that I am now. He’s so good so it’s trying to find consistency. He’s been playing unbelievably for us so he will be here for a long time. What is he good at? The better question is what is he not good at. He can play in a lot of different positions. I think eventually he will end up playing centrally in my opinion but in this moment in time it is maybe a little bit better for him on the wing to have more freedom and fewer instructions so he flows into the game. I eventually see him playing more centrally when he gets older and gets more stamina. It’s all about little details to just find more consistency in the performances.”
